Performance improvement of lithium-ion battery by pulse current

Periodically changed current is called pulse current. It has been found that using the pulse current to charge/discharge lithium-ion batteries can improve the safety and cycle stability of the battery. In this short review, the mechanisms of pulse current improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries are summarized from four aspects: activation, warming up, fast charging and inhibition of lithium dendrites. Related content may help us use the pulse current to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries and further optimize pulse current technology.
